    Which Tail-tidy do you recommend?

    Checking out a few photo's I see lots of you have fitted a Tailtidy.

    I'd like to ask a couple of questions if I may,

    1, Is fitting a tailtidy purely for aesthetic reasons or is there something I'm missing?

    2, Which tail tidy is the best to buy in respect to build quality/ value for money from the following brands I've found for the 2013 model? R&G, Evotech or Yoshimura

    Thanks for your advise in advance folks. I did a search but could not find a definitive answer.

    Cheers
    Raymondo

    Evotech is for both the tail tidy and the radiator guard IMHO.

    Tail Tidy is for aesthetic reasons. When I bought my new blade last summer I waited until her first service to see what it was like to live with the original one. But in the end decided to go for the Yoshi. I haven't bothered getting a small number plate though, just kept the original plate, but still looks great. The others you mentioned also look ok.

    I like the look of the yoshi on your model but you can only fit a small plate in it

    Thats great guys thanks for the photo to Carl. It's always better when you see a proper photos as opposed to advert one.

    Only thing that puts me off a bit is the red reflector dot. I know its a legal requirement.

    So the Yoshi will take a legal plate then AABiker? Thats good to know. I usually drop size to 8x5 but I guess the Blade will attract more attention than the XT1200Z

    On my 2012 model the Yoshi is designed to take a small plate, but my garage managed to fit a normal sized plate. They said it was a little awkward & had to drill a couple of holes in the plate, but it ended up looking great.
